New York Fans Save Money by Watching Rangers Play in Los Angeles By Mason Levinson - Jun 2, 2014 New Yorkers can save money while watching the Rangers play the Los Angeles Kings for the Stanley Cup by packing their suitcases. It would cost New York fans less to fly to Los Angeles in two days, rent a hotel room and buy a resale ticket for Game 1 than it would to purchase an averaged-priced seat for Games 3, 4 or 6, which will be at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, according to secondary-market ticket aggregator SeatGeek. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is in two days in Los Angeles, as is Game 2 on June 7. The teams then head to New York for the next two meetings before alternating cities if Games 5 through 7 are necessary. “There’s a huge gap between ticket prices in Los Angeles and New York,” Connor Gregoire, a spokesman for New York-based SeatGeek, said in an e-mail. The average price paid for a resale ticket to Game 3 in New York is $1,626, more than twice the $679 average for a ticket to Game 1 at the Staples Center. Round-trip flights to Los Angeles from Newark, New Jersey, on Travelocity.com, leaving the morning of Game 1 and returning the next day, begin at $490. The website offers a night at the airport Crowne Plaza for $69, meaning the total price for a ticket, flight and hotel would be $1,238. That’s $388 cheaper than the average price paid for an MSG ticket, which could be used for cab fares and food. The least expensive seat for Game 1 is $495, while the cheapest for Game 3 in New York is $1,087, according to SeatGeek. The face value for tickets range from $349 to $2,499 at Staples Center and from $484 to $2,490 at MSG. Record Prices Games 3 and 4 at MSG are the most expensive finals-opening contests (meaning Games 1 and 2 at one venue or 3 and 4 at the other) that SeatGeek has recorded since it began tracking the resale market during the 2009-2010 NHL season. The previous high was in Vancouver for Games 1 and 2 in 2011, when ticket prices averaged $858. Game 4 is averaging $1,703, higher than what was previously the most expensive ticket to an MSG event, the 12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief that averaged $1,026 a ticket. http://bloom.bg/1wV8RU0

Not so lucky, his old girlfriend dumped him after 4 1/2 years, but he found a much better one and she's a huge Rangers fan

New York Rangers Hockey House. It's basically a free festival (yes, free) on 33rd and 7th right in the shadow of MSG. It's just everywhere: every inch of the wall is just plastered with players from the current team. There's a slew of activities: table hockey, air hockey, stick-handling challenge, NHL 14, trivia with signed prizes, and of course, the classic 5-hole accuracy challenge. You get to meet Rangers alumni
what has me worried is that the rangers don't play very well out here. same with the Yankees. I've stopped going as I have a 6 game losing streak with the yanks when they play the angels. hopefully going to game 2, im fired up for this!! saying the rangers have to split out here is an understatement
